AJ's Auto Repair
I've used these guys a few times, and while not overtly personable (not bad either, and I do suffer from RBF myself), they're efficient, seem thorough, responsive, and graciously saw me with zero notice and squeezed me in for a quick repair with no fuss at all. I hope we warm up to each other, because that - and continued positive experiences - will allow my trust to grow and I'll stop running back to my old mechanic (farther away) for the big repairs. I think they're worth a shot. My spidey instincts suggest they're competent and honest, and for that, I'll gladly forgo chit chat.
